Magic spells. Talking animals. Escapades through frozen wastelands. Got a chubby yet? You can have all this and more in the upcoming game The Golden Compass, based on the first book in the award winning His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman. Pullman's fantasy series definately will make Harry Potter fans wet their pants, and surely the game and upcoming film adaption will be no exception.
The game is slated for a Fall 2007 release date and will be avaliable for PS3, PS2, Wii, Xbox 360, DS, PSP and personal holographic eyeball projector. I made that last one up, but if there was such a thing, you can be sure this game would be avaliable for it. On a more thrilling note, Daniel Craig will be playing the role of Lord Asriel in both the film and the games. Sounds like good motivation for both male Bond fans and women furiously masturbating over the new 007. How did I change topics from a fantasy world of armored bears to furious masturbation?

And the polar bears are armored, not mechanical. Panserbjorn, to be precise. And I want one.
Gets kinda preachy near the end though.

Anything Gene Wolf writes SHITS all over Pullman. Pullman is a joke.
The books seem like they're written for kids, but they're pretty damned adult in theme.
(sigh) okay, I guess I'm the only one...
I don't know if we're allowed to BBCode in YouTube, so here's just a link instead.

U SHUT UP!!!! HARRY POTTER R TEH BEST BOOKS EVAR AND UR DUMB!1!!
Admittedly, don't get me wrong, I actually DO enjoy reading the books. But as an avid reader, English major, and aspiring author myself, I can't deny that they aren't the most well-written things on the market. Rowling uses deus ex machina -constantly-, which is more than enough reason for me to discredit her. And yes, I know you were probably joking, but what the hell. XD
Let it be known I would slaughter every single one of you for a daemon.
Definitely joking. :) I enjoy the series, but there's certainly better stuff out there for younger audiences. I'm just glad it's gotten more kids interested in reading. A friend of mine actually created www.ihateharrypotter.com to troll Rowling fans and encourage them to check out other titles.
